Ultra-Wideband Short-Pulse Electromagnetics 5

The purpose of the Ultra-Wideband Short-Pulse Electromagnetics Conference series is to focus on advanced technologies for the generation, radiation and detection of ultra-wideband short pulse signals, taking into account their propagation, scattering from and coupling to targets of interest; to report on developments in supporting mathematical and numerical methods; and to describe current and potential future applications of the technology.
The fifth such Conference was held in Edinburgh, Scotland in June 2000 as part of EUROEM 2000 and the proceedings in this volume report on newly emerging ideas and develop recurrent themes of earlier meetings. The topics include electromagnetic theory and scattering theory (including papers presented at a special session on fundamental solutions of Maxwell's equations); ultra-wideband radar systems; ultra-wideband and transient antennas; pulsed power generation and propagation; ultra-wideband polarimetry; ultra-wideband and transient metrology; detection and identification studies; RF interactions and chaotic effects; and biological effects.
